| Heres a little somthing i wrote for my english class. version 2. i know some of you have read version one. take note, version 2. Enjoy!
I am a man that hates to lose. Be it thumb war or a sparring match, I seek nothing less then absolute victory, and loath the alternative. It’s a feeling of frustration and regret, losing. I go through the competition countless times in my head searching for mistakes, searching for errors and missteps to avoid in the future. However, on one soggy, dour evening, I suffered a loss that made me breathless with laughter.
It had been raining hard all afternoon. The wet black pavement shone slickly in the ghostly light of street lamps. I pressed on into the wind, through the translucent veil of icy cold droplets. I could see the door just a few feet ahead. I jogged the last leg and pushed my way through. Stuck to the inside of that partition of glass was a decal of sorts; It read “Cool Crest”. It was the night of June 19, 2002, and I had a hankering to play some arcade games.
The inside of an arcade is an environment unlike any other, especially at night. The eerie, exciting glow of 40 flickering monitors illuminate the room. All around you swirls a raucous cacophony of gun shots, race cars, clacking buttons, and the passionate swearing of over excited gamers. However, it was a hypnotic stream of techno that caught my ear that evening. Off to my left flashed a “DDR” machine. “Dance Dance Revolution” is, grammatically speaking, an example of why the Japanese shouldn't name their products in English. But more then that, it's a unique and ingenious arcade machine. The goal of the game is to press the glowing six by six buttons, positioned in the four cardinal directions at the players feet, as the monitor instructs. The player does this in time with fast paced dance music to in order to simulate a dancing experience. It’s a demanding challenge, both mentally and physically, and one I enjoy immensely
I pride myself on my DDR skills. I can perform most of the songs on their highest level of difficulty, a claim none of my friends could make at the time. So, it was without hesitation that I stepped up upon the platform designed for two, and centered myself on those four simple buttons. I chose an easy song to warm up on and lost myself in it’s rhythm. When the song finished I realized with a start that the second set of buttons were now occupied. A young women, perhaps a year younger then myself, had been waiting quietly for me to finish. She had a petite build and wore the black clothes and pale make up of a goth. Her stunning blue eyes shone in bright contrast to her macabre and lifeless wardrobe.
She fed the machine it’s round metallic tribute and stood there waiting for me to pick a song. “Feel free to chose the next one.” I said with a smile, thinking myself capable of anything she would choose. She wordlessly complied and picked that legendary music, the Everest of dances, Maximum Unlimited; the hardest song in the game. I chuckled a bit and gave the lass a humored look, thinking her a confused and silly girl. “You’re joking, right?” I asked her delightfully. Her intensely blue eyes stared unwavering onward. Thus the song began and my rich and haughty smile collapsed into dust. I desperately stomped as obscenely fast rhythm pounded the air, surviving 15 frenetic seconds before failing completely, while she performed with flawless execution. Her body moved the practiced ease of a master; not a single instant of doubt betrayed her concentration. It was as if an ancient kung fu master had grown weary of the afterlife and possessed the lovely girl. I never stood a chance.
She finished her game and walked away without speaking, disappearing mystically into the din and the shadows of the Cool Crest arcade. Not once did she speak; Her name is forever lost to me. It took my brain a moment to believe what had happened. I had just been “pwnd” by a petite looking goth chick. One would expect shame or embarrassment to be the lords of my soul at this point in time, but that was not the case. All I could think about was how funny it was. The hilarity of absurdity made my sides ache from laughter. Looking back, I should have asked for her number.

| I've read alot of things on teh World of WArcraft forums, and i can sum them up into a single definitive sentence. here we go
"The fact that I'm stupid makes your argument invalid."
EDIT: i was wrong, I must add somthing more....
"Your dumb!"
"no, YOUR dumb! lol" | | |
| so i was looking through boxtorrents for anime to DL, and i an across Karo Kano. Now, at that time 08 ms was almost done loading and i had picked out chobits and Haibane Renamei. I saw a few eps of Kare Kano thanks to britt, and i realy wanted to finish it, but i thought about what i'd seen recently, and decieded not to get it. You see, i want to see an anime that KICK ASS! I've been watchign alot of romance, comedy, non ass kicking action anime recently. the last ass kicker i saw was Full metal panic teh second raid, like, months ago. It was time for more pwnage.
The way i see it there are 4 types of action anime.
We'll start with the Realy Uber Gross Disgusting Gory type first. This shit is wack for teh sake of being wack. normaly all dark and creepy with charecters you dont like. this is good once in a very long while, but gets old real fast. commen thing for meto say while watcing "Bleh, WTF."
Next we swing to the other end of teh spectrum, the No One Ever Dies action flick. Think He- man; non violent combat. Deep down inside me is a Science fiction nerd. He likes everything to make sence. this leads to my most commenly said remark: "Goddamned use your sword! Cut shit you dumbass!...........Why did you punch him!?!? YOU"VE GOT A FUCKING SWORD!"
3rd, the have the "mangafied" action shows, where even though the pictures are moving, it still feels like your looking at a progresion of boxs. commen traits are overylong monolouges in the middle of combat, realy long special techneqes, flashy backgrounds used to show motion, and overly back and forth battles. this is the most commen type. comenly said remark: "this five minute fight has lasted how many eps?"
The final type is the Ass kicking anime. We're talking samurai champloo leve shit. charecters you care about, blood and death, and time works the way it's suposed to. these shows are rare, but they are never forgoten. comnely said phrase: "this is so awesome. Whoa, dude, you see that??"
It's true that 08 ms fits into that last catagory, but I've already seen it, so icatn fulfill my needs as well.
Ill get Karo Kano next round, but this time? I grabed Virtua fighter the anime. I expect much ass to be kicked. | | |
| I didnt write this, but I like it enough to repost here. Here it is
Why Gay Marrige Should Be Illegal
1. Being gay is not natural. And as you know Americans have always rejected unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because, as you know, a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed. The sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
